The Brooklyn Museum’s Artist’s Ball Honored Iris van Herpen—and Brought Out A Fashion-Obsessed Crowd
On the second Monday in May, it was time for another fashion-filled night at the museum. This time, artists, designers, curators, and art fans hot-footed it to Brooklyn for the annual Artist’s Ball. And once again, the evening was rooted in the truth that fashion is an art form. The sentiment was reinforced by the work of Dutch designer Iris van Herpen, who is set to have her first-ever New York retrospective, Sculpting the Senses, which opens on May 16.
